The existence of that city is fucking outrageous.

What if we could build cities like this, but for average people? Would it still be outrageous? That seems like it might be a good way to fight back against surveillance

It's not just the result I take issue with; it's the implementation. They're claiming that everything in the city is controlled by an HOA, up to and including the roads, and yet it's "private" and somehow not a government in all but name? Ridiculous, and worse, antidemocratic!
